Mary and me under the sign Erecting a school crossing sign should be a simple matter, but Mary Bainbridge discovered otherwise when she contacted the council. Her concern was children crossing from Honey Hill/Crown Street at the infamous "gates" to go to Guildhall Feoffment school. She even got a petition up about it.
After a meeting with Mr Boor (see below) the suggestion of a sign in this area was made. After a lot of chasing by me there was agreement from the Borough Council to supply a sign and pass it to Suffolk County Council to erect. But SCC said the lampposts were due for replacement and could not be used, especially if the sign had to be lit - which it does. Mrs Bainbridge thought it was hanging baskets all over again.
Then after more nagging by me SCC suddenly told us that the lamppost would be replaced, and events took on a new pace.

What use is this sign. Motorists don't look!
You're right of course anon, but some might do and isn't it worth trying?
